Changed Conditions
In British Capital
London in War Time-sounds inter-esting,
and it is. One reads so much of
conditions in -tlmse - cities in- the war •
ridden districts, that often sight is lost
of the fact that in those cities far from
the roar of cannon and shriek of shell,
there are changed conditions, due to the
conflict of nations, which in their way '
are just as unique, and just as interest-ing
as the conditions at the front. It
is only on special occasions, such as
London's recent attack of 6 4 Zeppelin
neck," that they get into print, but it
is the good fortune of The Wingfoot
Clan to be able to present some first
hand impressions of " London in War 1
Time," from the pen of the sister of
one of Goodyear's London agents.

Spanish Club
-F
U 1 --
The Spanish Club of Akron has been
reorganized with rooms in the Walsh
Block on South Main St. A number of
the charter members are from the Good-year.
Arrangements have been made
for two classes, a beginners and an ad-vanced
class, rvhich will meet every
Friday evening at 7:30 0'clock for the
study of.the language. In addition to
this instruction in Spanish, there will
be social and literary features, special
attention being given to South Amer-ican
history and commerce.
The CIub will be glad to receive •new
members from the Goodyear. Applica-

side of the road pause, and hurriedly
scan a newspaper, which each man holds
at the corner I with a grimy hfind. A
woman, passing along, hnlf stops, turns,
back, and asks eagerly in her raucous
London voice:
.' 4 What news from the.front today.14,,
The news is evidently gdod, for.she
goes on her way smiling, but stops for
a moment to remonstrate with the boys,
who are hurling abuse at one another in
no unmeasured terms.
t'Come, come, children. .This ain't no
time for quarrellin'."
The combatants pause, arrested.not so
much by the woman 's gentle rebuke, ns
by a sorind, a Round that has become i
exeitingly frimilinr, a faint, fir off echo :
of music, now swelling, now growing,
fainter, now coming nearer and nearer.

Feeding the Factory
1 -
The Factory Lunch Room has been
enjoying a period of growth and in-ereasing
popularity. Never before, say
its patrons, ]las there been such a. wide
range of tasty dishes at such low prices,
and the service was a pleasant surprise
BIG PROGRAM
PLANNED FOR
COMING YEAR
Co-operation Makes
Campaifin Success
Who said Safety First didn't pay 1
One year ago the Safety First Cam-paign
of the Goodyear was inaugurated;
and this one year-this first year--has
shown a decrease of one-third .in our
serious accidents! Do you know what
that•mcalls 1 Just thia--for.overy ten
men who lost days, and even weeks of
work, suffered intense pain, or possi-ble
permanent deformation, there are
today five men at work who lost not an
hour, and possess every finger, every
toe, and are in the best of health. Did
, it pay 1
Not only did one year of Safety First
reduce our major accidents by 33•, but
minor injuries decreased as well.
Though hundreds of cases were treated
at the Factory Hospital, that before
were never thought worth bothering
about, the total for the year was de-creased
by one-fourth. During the year
1912-13, the Hospital treated a total of
39,700 cases. During the past year,
1913-14, but 29,570 cases were handled.
Did Safety First pay 1
How was this accomplished 1 There
is not a man in the factory who does
not know. It was accomplished by pub-licity,
by special Safety Committees,
r by personal work, by everlastingly
I dinging safety-safety-safety into the
for the General Office employees who

ars of each and everyone. Every De-artment
has its Safety Rules for its
wn work, and every man is required
o familiarize himself with them. Nine
Safety Commlttees are appoiinted every
two months, and these, comprising
thirty-six men, make weekly inspections
of their departments for: accident haz-ards.
This scheme will be niade even
more eflicient. during the .coming year.
A general meeting of all Safety Com-mittees
will be held when .they start in
upon their duties, and then at. the end
of their first month of service, each
committee will hold a meeting of its
own, to review the results of their
work.
Atuch has been done·to eliminate in-dividual
hazards. Safety Engineer
KIine has devised and instilled dozens
of safeguards: In one week two acci-
• dents of the same kind occurred-two
men.had their hands crushed by cores
